Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.
Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements. This makes it easier to add further
iterator types. Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.
Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself. Only the direction is required.

In _scif_prog_signal(), the boolean variable 'x100' is used to indicate
whether the MIC Coprocessor is X100. If 'x100' is true, the status
descriptor will be used to write the value to the destination. Otherwise, a
DMA pool will be allocated for this purpose. Specifically, if the DMA pool
is allocated successfully, two memory addresses will be returned. One is
for the CPU and the other is for the device to access the DMA pool. The
former is stored to the variable 'status' and the latter is stored to the
variable 'src'. After the allocation, the address in 'src' is saved to
'status->src_dma_addr', which is actually in the DMA pool, and 'src' is
then modified.
Later on, if an error occurs, the execution flow will transfer to the label
'dma_fail', which will check 'x100' and free up the allocated DMA pool if
'x100' is false. The point here is that 'status->src_dma_addr' is used for
freeing up the DMA pool. As mentioned before, 'status->src_dma_addr' is in
the DMA pool. And thus, the device is able to modify this data. This can
potentially cause failures when freeing up the DMA pool because of the
modified device address.
This patch avoids the above issue by using the variable 'src' (with
necessary calculation) to free up the DMA pool.

When adding a VMCI resource, the check for an existing entry
would ignore that the new entry could be a wildcard. This could
result in multiple resource entries that would match a given
handle. One disastrous outcome of this is that the
refcounting used to ensure that delayed callbacks for VMCI
datagrams have run before the datagram is destroyed can be
wrong, since the refcount could be increased on the duplicate
entry. This in turn leads to a use after free bug. This issue

Within at24_loop_until_timeout the timestamp used for timeout checking
is recorded after the I2C transfer and sleep_range(). Under high CPU
load either the execution time for I2C transfer or sleep_range() could
actually be larger than the timeout value. Worst case the I2C transfer
is only tried once because the loop will exit due to the timeout
although the EEPROM is now ready.
To fix this issue the timestamp is recorded at the beginning of each
iteration. That is, before I2C transfer and sleep. Then the timeout
is actually checked against the timestamp of the previous iteration.
This makes sure that even if the timeout is reached, there is still one
more chance to try the I2C transfer in case the EEPROM is ready.
Example:
If you have a system which combines high CPU load with repeated EEPROM
writes you will run into the following scenario.
- System makes a successful regmap_bulk_write() to EEPROM.
- System wants to perform another write to EEPROM but EEPROM is still
busy with the last write.
- Because of high CPU load the usleep_range() will sleep more than
25 ms (at24_write_timeout).
- Within the over-long sleeping the EEPROM finished the previous write
operation and is ready again.
- at24_loop_until_timeout() will detect timeout and won't try to write.

In preparation for supporting compaction and OOM notification, this
patch reworks the inflate/deflate loops. The main idea is to separate
the allocation, communication with the hypervisor, and the handling of
errors from each other. Doing will allow us to perform concurrent
inflation and deflation, excluding the actual communication with the
hypervisor.
To do so, we need to get rid of the remaining global state that is kept
in the balloon struct, specifically the refuse_list. When the VM
communicates with the hypervisor, it does not free or put back pages
to the balloon list and instead only moves the pages whose status
indicated failure into a refuse_list on the stack. Once the operation
completes, the inflation or deflation functions handle the list
appropriately.
As we do that, we can consolidate the communication with the hypervisor
for both the lock and unlock operations into a single function. We also
reuse the deflation function for popping the balloon.
As a preparation for preventing races, we hold a spinlock when the
communication actually takes place, and use atomic operations for
updating the balloon size. The balloon page list is still racy and will
be handled in the next patch.

To allow the balloon statistics to be updated concurrently, we change
the statistics to be held per core and aggregate it when needed.
To avoid the memory overhead of keeping the statistics per core, and
since it is likely not used by most users, we start updating the
statistics only after the first use. A read-write semaphore is used to
protect the statistics initialization and avoid races. This semaphore is
(and will) be used to protect configuration changes during reset.
While we are at it, address some other issues: change the statistics
update to inline functions instead of define; use ulong for saving the
statistics; and clean the statistics printouts.
Note that this patch changes the format of the outputs. If there are any
automatic tools that use the statistics, they might fail.

Currently, when the hypervisor rejects a page during lock operation, the
VM treats pages differently according to the error-code: in certain
cases the page is immediately freed, and in others it is put on a
rejection list and only freed later.
The behavior does not make too much sense. If the page is freed
immediately it is very likely to be used again in the next batch of
allocations, and be rejected again.
In addition, for support of compaction and OOM notifiers, we wish to
separate the logic that communicates with the hypervisor (as well as
analyzes the status of each page) from the logic that allocates or free
pages.
Treat all errors the same way, queuing the pages on the refuse list.
Move to the next allocation size (4k) when too many pages are refused.
Free the refused pages when moving to the next size to avoid situations
in which too much memory is waiting to be freed on the refused list.

The current abstractions for batch vs single operations seem suboptimal
and complicate the implementation of additional features (OOM,
compaction).
The immediate problem of the current abstractions is that they cause
differences in how operations are handled when batching is on or off.
For example, the refused_alloc counter is not updated when batching is
on. These discrepancies are caused by code redundancies.
Instead, this patch presents three type of operations, according to
whether batching is on or off: (1) add page, (2) communication with the
hypervisor and (3) retrieving the status of a page.
To avoid the overhead of virtual functions, and since we do not expect
additional interfaces for communication with the hypervisor, we use
static keys instead of virtual functions.
Finally, while we are at it, change vmballoon_init_batching() to return
int instead of bool, to be consistent in the return type and avoid
potential coding errors.

Splitting the allocations between sleeping and non-sleeping made some
sort of sense as long as rate-limiting was enabled. Now that it is
removed, we need to decide - either we want sleeping allocations or not.
Since no other Linux balloon driver (hv, Xen, virtio) uses sleeping
allocations, use the same approach.
We do distinguish, however, between 2MB allocations and 4kB allocations
and prevent reclamation on 2MB. In both cases, we avoid using emergency

The genweq_add_file and genwqe_del_file by caching current without
using reference counting embed the assumption that a file descriptor
will never be passed from one process to another. It even embeds the
assumption that the the thread that opened the file will be in
existence when the process terminates. Neither of which are
guaranteed to be true.
Therefore replace caching the task_struct of the opener with
pid of the openers thread group id. All the knowledge of the
opener is used for is as the target of SIGKILL and a SIGKILL
will kill the entire process group.
Rename genwqe_force_sig to genwqe_terminate, remove it's unncessary
signal argument, update it's ownly caller, and use kill_pid
instead of force_sig.
The work force_sig does in changing signal handling state is not
relevant to SIGKILL sent as SEND_SIG_PRIV. The exact same processess
will be killed just with less work, and less confusion. The work done
by force_sig is really only needed for handling syncrhonous
exceptions.

Array ir_currents is declared but never used, hence it is redundant
and can be removed.

val is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a
potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
drivers/misc/hmc6352.c:54 compass_store() warn: potential spectre issue
'map' [r]
Fix this by sanitizing val before using it to index map
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
